Most of the socks I knit are for Andrew, my dearest friend and beloved partner. The challenge is to find something not too fancy – in colour and pattern – for him and not too boring for me, especially because these men-socks are so big.

Therefore I started to work on my own ideas for men-socks. This is so much fun and quite exciting! At the same time this pattern is pretty simple and allows “mindless knitting” which is also important.

For these directions I assume you know how to knit socks. You choose the length of the cuff ribbing, your favourite heel flap variation and your favourite toes.
